Week 5: Reflections of Projects 4-6
After completing the podcast and video projects, reflect your working experiences of creating multimedia materials, the challenges you encountered during your creation. You also want to focus on how you will use these technologies into your own classroom? How can authoring software help you teach and your students learn? Make sure to use Chapter 7-8 as your reference. You need to upload your movie to youtube and embed youtube video to the end of your blog. You can embed vocaroo audio to your blog as well but the link will be expired soon. So I want you to download your audio as MP3 file and upload it to your blog. You will also post the interactive Edupuzzle video class and access code to the end of your blog so that your readers will be able to access it. This week I created a podcast, a video, and an Edupuzzle account. All these items challenged me this week because I did not have much experience with many of the software programs. The only software I have previously used was Audacity. With the software platforms being new to me, I spent much of my time just trying to figure out the software to complete the projects. The longest process for me was the build of each project. After the build was complete, I did not take long to complete the subject area since it is what I currently teach. Of all the software programs, being that I already use Audacity in the classroom, I like the Edupuzzle the most. This software would allow me to get my classed involved with outside resources, while also helping me to ensure that all the students have seen and completed each video offered. I plan on implementing the website to show additional resources and monitor who is using the resources. This will help me to gauge the student understanding and the student effort. I did also like the video project. However, I feel that mathematics is such a visual subject that it is hard to show examples without an interactive surface. I have previously used Screen-o-Matic to show my screen as I wrote on the surface, but the free software version is slightly limited. Technology is continuing to grow and will continue to play a major roll on the next generation. By implementing new technologies into the classroom, we can guarantee the students see various forms of technology and various forms of the topic at hand. This can also help to ensure that the educators have greater odd of reaching a larger portion of the students within a lesson.

Jamie, you did a great job on your projects. What I liked most about our assignments this week, are the projects can be used immediately in my classroom. Edpuzzle was the most difficult for me to use, but I think its the one I will use most often in my class. Great job.

Hi Jamie, I really liked the Edpuzzle, too, but I did find the timing a bit tricky in terms of getting the audio placed precisely where I would have liked it. I think it's very cool that you plan on using it with your math classes. I agree with you that math being such a visual subject makes the Edpuzzle a great fit - you can give hints/tips along the way and check for understanding. Plus, you'll get great data to support future learning objectives - either reteach a concept if needed or move on once mastery has been reached. Great job on all your projects this week! ~April
